If one would to argue for Croatia, taking a closer look at the two penalty situations would be smarter imo. Mandzukic gets stopped by Ramos. Ramos hits the ball, but the tackle is very dangerous. Imagine Ramos getting there a split-second later. Mandzukic risks getting seriously injured. The situation could go either way, but imo it's a penalty. Regardless if it's a penalty or not, I think Ramos should have gotten booked or severely warned not to go into a situation like that again.

Second penalty situation. Corner for Croatia. Corluka goes up and wins the header, which goes out. The replay shows him getting pulled down hard by the Spanish defender. Very clear penalty, imo, but it looked like a very hard situation for the ref.

One could also argue that Spain could have gotten a penalty their way, when Pique got an arm in the face. Pique dies for it, imo, but I wouldn't be up in arms if a penalty was given.

Sad that Croatia is out. They showed good play and a will to win against the top dogs. Better luck next time.


IMO the tackle on Mandzukic was dangerous but not penalty. At most indirect kick (same punishment as when your feet almost hits other's head).


it was a foul but it was outside of the box

You might think that the common thing is to forget about teams when it comes to national team's championships, but again, Spain is different.

Please, don't create new football rules. The moment ball is about to get passed they both take part in that action. That moment Iniesta is not on offside, Navas is. There is end of this action as there should be called obvious offside by Navas. There wasnt called offside couse referee made a mistake.

Navas is taking part in the action as he is clearly absorbing defenders attention. He is not comming back from offside position, he is running towards goalkeeper and he is a valid target for a pass.

Again, do not create new football rules just couse you so want to defend incorrect decision couse it benefits team you do support.

I didn't saw that match, i coudl't care less for either Croatia or Spain, but rules are rules and this was offside.

IMHO he is actually right. No contact, no running in the direction of the ball nothing. In portugal people are very anal about offsides and not a single commentator talked about navas. Some argued that maybe iniesta was off but there was zero talk about navas and when there is nobody (here) crying about it, chances are there is no chance in hell there is offside lol.

To me the only doubt should be about Iniesta and not Navas. If Iniesta was on, then the goal has no problem.

This was a really boring game. I expected much more from this two teams but I get the "respect" for the opponent was too big to produce a better game. I believe Spain is good enough to push harder and produce a better game and that Croatia, as soon as Italy scored, should have switch into attacking mode since there was no point in hoping that Ireland would turn the result around after Italy's first goal.

Lets hope for some better games tomorrow!

Actually the rule is that you are penaltilized for being in an offside position if you take part in active play(which means you literally touch the ball, always), obstruct the opponent or gain an advantage from being offside.

If Navas was just onside or barely offside, he gained no advantage from that. The Croats tried an offside trap but failed since Iniesta was onside. Passive offside for Navas is allowed. And he was onside when he took part in the play.

There is some grey area and contradiction in the passive and active offence rules. But this one was not an example. The goal vs Ireland was.

Everybody is telling you, you are completely wrong.

Even if Navas was on the goal line if later he goes back and recieves the pass from Iniesta, is NOT offside. At least in Europe.

Exactly my point. Here we call it positional instead of passive offside but the point is the same and that was what I was trying to tell. Navas did not touch the ball or ran in the ball's direction when the pass for Iniesta was made. Proof of that is that it was a pass "to Iniesta" there was no doubt about it. The positional off side is allowed and because of that the goal is valid if you rule that Iniesta was on side. It is not making up rules. The positional off side (or passive and active off sides) rules/guide lines are not exactly new.

There were some bad calls from the judge, but in conclusion Spain was simply better and anything other than a loss would be a small miracle. The people in Croatia are happy with the players, they did their best, and we went down with a fight.

GG Spain, and vgg to our players :D

actually, i'm not happy with our players. i feel the game could have been won. especially if Rakitić managed to score, but instead he was as useful as bag of rocks having their periods synchronized. Spain was better most of the game, but we had some really good chances. Too bad about some ref calls. Btw, was Iniesta onside or offside when receiving the ball?

Too much arguing about unimportant stuff. Offside was not important as Croatia needed to score to advance anyways. 0-0 score would still keep Croatia as 3rd in group.

Croatia missed its chances to advance in game against Italy and also when Spain didn't defeat Italy in first game (where they had more chances to score then Italy). Also we spent our luck for vs Ireland game (2 of our goals were lucky).

Croatia loses but both Modrić and Mandžukić win as after their performances they are sure to get good offers. They both looked good enough to play on Spanish team.

Also it was funny when 4 players would advance on Iniesta and he would keep the ball and bring it out with him :D

Also we managed to force Spanish players return the ball to their goalkeeper a couple of times so we consider ourselves winners for that alone :D

That's very common if you follow Spain, it's something stylistic. Before losing the ball, give it to the goalkeeper so we can start again.

But overall you did a very good job. I was surprised you didn't attack more at the end though, we were willing to concede the tie but you refused to take it

Iniesta was onside. But he controlled the ball with his shoulder. That was very questionable. Also, Spain should have had a red card after that foul in the penalty box. Then that goal and the red card would have completely changed the game.

Don't think Croatia could have done anytbing more vs Span. That header of Rakitic should have been in but that's bad luck I guess.

Was Navas taking part in that action? Check. Was Navas on offside when pass happened? Check. Was there offside? Check.

Dude you were already told you interpret the rule wrong. What more can be said? Being part of active play when offside means you are penaltilised. He wasn't.
He didn't interfere or take part in the play because he didn't touch the ball. Only later in a new situation when Iniesta passed him the ball Navas was offside. Then the question is if he had an advantage from being in an offside position when he was passively offside. I would argue he wasn't. The refs apparently judged that even the goal of Croatia vs Ireland was not an advantage being offside. I would say that could be an example where a player is passively offside with an advantage.

I really wish FIFA would come down hard retrospectively on all of this shirt-pulling on clear-cut chances that's going unpunished. I'd genuinely rather England lost than win with underhand tactics. Busquets and Badstuber should be ashamed of themselves.

thank you, his shoulder is in front of everyone, he is in offside, now my hate is stronger


Another one dont know the rules ...legs counts.. not rest of the body.


everything counts that can be legally used to score a goal. if iniesta is allowed to accept the ball with the exact shoulder which was offside then it is offside.


But Iniesta's shoulder was not in an offside position. In fact, all of Iniesta's body is behind the last defender except for his hand.


no


Since you are Croatian, you are likely to be biased. Under closer inspection, it is pretty clear.


The only parts pf the body that count are the ones which can hit the ball, so the foot of the Croatian player is clearly behind Iniesta's shoulder...
